A tender, hearty gluten-free zucchini bread made with almond flour and naturally sweetened with honey. Perfect for a nourishing breakfast or a cozy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200 g) almond flour
  • 1 ½ cups (about 180 g) grated zucchini, squeezed to remove excess moisture
  • ⅓ cup (113 g) honey
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Grate 1 ½ cups (about 180 g) of zucchini using a box grater. Place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze gently to remove extra water.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and ⅓ cup (113 g) honey until slightly frothy. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and stir to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk 2 cups (200 g) almond flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional), and ½ tsp salt until evenly mixed.
  5. Add the squeezed zucchini into the wet mixture, stirring gently. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. If using, gently fold in ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Drain zucchini well to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs for better moisture and lift. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep a tender crumb. Use an oven thermometer to maintain consistent temperature. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
